Ever since our invention of the first low-loader with open swivelling rear wheels in 1953, the Nooteboom EUROTRAILER low-loaders have been setting the trend in the special transport market. Since then many manufacturers have adopted our innovations.

With the Nooteboom TELETRAILER flatbed semi-trailers any self-supporting long load, from concrete and steel structures to rotor blades, can be transported with the greatest efficiency and at the lowest possible transport costs.

The ultimate multifunctionality of the extendible Nooteboom MEGATRAILER enables transport operators to achieve maximum capacity utilization. The perfectly flat load floor without intersection or gooseneck together with a low loaded floor height of just 97cm makes it much more likely that a suitable return load can be found. So the number of ‘empty miles’ driven can be reduced considerably.

Nooteboom SUPERTRAILER ASDV drawbar semi-lowloader are simple and effective transport solutions for up to approx. 32 tonnes of payload. They are often used by companies that transport their own equipment, such as earthmoving and road construction machinery, containers and building materials.

In addition to the multifunctional trailers for abnormal transport, Nooteboom also supplies SPECIALS: transport concepts specially designed for one particular application. These groundbreaking transport solutions are fully optimized for one single purpose and therefore are not part of any existing category.

The Nooteboom steering can be divided in 3 sub-categories with Nooteboom-specific hydraulic, mechanical and electric parts. By means of the Vehicle Identification Number we can check which system and parts are used on your trailer.

The Nooteboom compensation is mainly a hydraulic system for our trailers. Of course we also have trailers with air suspension. By means of the Vehicle Identification Number we can check which system and parts are used on your trailer.

The Nooteboom electrics mainly comprise lighting systems from the brand Hella, but Nooteboom specific parts are used too. By means of the Vehicle Identification Number we can check which system and parts are used on your trailer.

The Nooteboom pneumatic system contains brake systems from the brand Wabco mostly, but we also use Nooteboom specific parts. By means of the Vehicle Identification Number we can check which system and parts are used on your trailer.

Knowledge and expertise

Nooteboom makes an important contribution to the practice-based training of students from technical schools and colleges. There is a structural shortage of skilled technical personnel in the Dutch manufacturing industry.

Nooteboom doesn’t wait for the authorities to find a solution but invests in training and people themselves. Locally, in the Nijmegen area, Nooteboom makes an important contribution to the practice-based training of students from technical schools and colleges. They work closely together with various teaching institutions, including the University of Arnhem and Nijmegen (HAN) and Regional Teaching Centre (ROC). Nooteboom is also the initiator of the establishment of the Lectorate Lean at HAN and supports it by making substantial financial contributions.

The lectorate concentrates on optimization of lead times, costs and quality. This fits in perfectly with the ‘lean production’ of Nooteboom, which focuses on providing maximum value for the customer.

The lectorate is the jewel in the crown of the close collaboration by university, students and Nooteboom. Nooteboom always has availability of work placements, subjects for final projects and specialized training in competences such as technology, procurement, ICT, marketing and administration.

Of course the investment in knowledge and expertise are meant to ensure that in the future there will be no shortage of well- trained employees.
